Katie Davis - Biography

Biography

Katie Davis was born in the United States, and she is a graduate of the University of Washington. She is a former secondary school teacher, businesswoman and mother of two. Davis is author of Awake Joy: The Essence of Enlightenment.

In 1986, Katie Davis radically and spontaneously awakened without spiritual practices or teachers. In fact, she had no intellectual reference whatsoever for what occurred. The awakening did not arise from psychological suffering, but rather through a pure passion and freedom of the body through aerobic fitness. Davis spent the next twelve years integrating the profound realization.

In 1988, she met her husband, Sundance Burke, author of Free Spirit, who had similarly awakened before their meeting in 1982 with his teachers Satoshi (Osho) and Sunyata (Shunyata) who was named the Rare Born Mystic by his friend Ramana Maharshi. Since 2004, they have lived in Hawaii.

In 1998, Katie Davis became close friends with Eckhart Tolle, now author of The Power of Now and A New Earth. Since 1999, Katie has been sharing her message of conscious freedom and causeless joy. In 2004, Eckhart Tolle encouraged her to write her book, Awake Joy, and it published in 2008. She now travels worldwide for public speaking, satsang, intensives, silent retreats and private consultations.

Katie Davis is also published in numerous magazines and websites throughout the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Japan and also has had appearances on Chicago's Never Not Here Television Show and Conscious TV in London.

Famous quotes containing the word biography:

    In how few words, for instance, the Greeks would have told the story of Abelard and Heloise, making but a sentence of our classical dictionary.... We moderns, on the other hand, collect only the raw materials of biography and history, “memoirs to serve for a history,” which is but materials to serve for a mythology.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The death of Irving, which at any other time would have attracted universal attention, having occurred while these things were transpiring, went almost unobserved. I shall have to read of it in the biography of authors.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Just how difficult it is to write biography can be reckoned by anybody who sits down and considers just how many people know the real truth about his or her love affairs.
    Rebecca West [Cicily Isabel Fairfield] (1892–1983)
